You know, if the scientists and climatologists, who are educated in the feild of global warming are saying that the world is getting hotter, then why debate with them. Bush doesn't give a damn about global warming because he sucks up to the oil companies. Its not just a theory its a proven fact. It used to snow where I live now it doesn't snow anymore.

Fucking conservatives don't give a fuck about global warming because if they did do something they would just be millionaires instead of multi-millionaires.

when fossil fuels are burned from cars and other gas using vehicles. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas it causes heat by it sucks infrared radiation that causes heat and makes it so it is hard for the sun rays to escape.

A theory, that the inflammation of "greenhouse" gases will produce a "greenhouse effect" keeping the Earth's temperature up. It's a really good cause, to prevent this from happening, but most people do not know that in Washington D.C., (my teacher told us this) the people are lobbying the oil, so that we always need to use the oil because of the money involved. And that's what it's all about. Money. If it weren't for those lobbyers, (I hope I spelled that right) we could switch to something that would prevent global warming from happening. But no. It's all about money. Doesn't anyone care about what will happen if we don't prevent this global warming, also known as climate change, from happening? Some things that may happen are the following:

The depletion of the ozone layer

Glaciers will melt because of the temperature increase since the Industrial Revolution. Over the last 100 years, the temperature has increased approximately 0.6 Fahrenheit. Over the last 4 decades, the arctic ice pack has lost about 40 percent of its thickness.

Some ski resorts would have to resort to making their own snow. Ski resorts would have to have shorter seasons and in southern Ontario, the length of the ski season would be cut in half by 2080.

In the near future, the sea level would rise 55 meters.

The melting of the polar ice caps.

Many, many species in Australia's Great Barrier Reef will die out because of a few degrees of climate increase.

I really believe in preventing global warming. For more information, you may go to one of my websites, www.neopets.com/~tailofthelily (don't ask, I needed to create a simple webpage)

The warming of the earth because carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the atmosphere
ice caps melting, permanent coastal flooding, some endangered species, death and doom and destruction and death, all that good stuff

Person 1: We should cut down on fossil fuel usage and save the world from global warming!
Person 2: It doesn't matter rich people like oil

The natural process of the earth heating up over time in between glaciations. In recent times this process has been sped up dramatically because of the burning of fossil fuels, as well as occurances in nature as the result of global warming. The increase in heat leads to ocean levels rising, lifeforms dying, and people becoming pissed off. Over time it can cause massive climate shifts.

People use the fact that global warming is a natural process to ignore that we are dramatically increasing the speed at which it occurs.
